Steps
Smell and touch

Smell the pineapple. Tilt the pineapple and smell the bottom. Sweet aroma is an important criterion used to choose a ripe pineapple. If the pineapple doesn’t smell, it’s still alive. [1] X Research Source
- You can try sniffing around the pineapple because if it is ripe enough, you will feel the sweet aroma from the whole pineapple. However, you should smell at the bottom because this is the strongest part of the smell.
- Avoid choosing pineapples that have a yeasty smell. You need a pineapple with a sweet aroma instead of a pineapple that is so overripe that it smells like wine or vinegar.
Squeeze the pineapple. Gently squeeze the pineapple with one hand. You need a pineapple that is still relatively firm but has the softness to bounce when you press it lightly.
Feel whether the pineapple is heavy or not. A heavy pineapple means it has a lot of water because the amount of water increases the weight of the pineapple. More water also means more ripe and sweeter pineapple.
- Note that “heavier” does not mean “bigger”. Tasty pineapples are heavier when compared to those of the same size. If a large pineapple seems to weigh as much as a slightly smaller pineapple, you should choose a small one.
Break the top leaves off the pineapple. Although there is controversy about how effective this method is, some people believe that the pineapple ripens when you can easily break the leaves. However, if the leaves can be easily broken, the pineapple is probably rotten. [2] X Research Sources .
Observe
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bc/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bc/Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Note the following two important characteristics of a ripe pineapple: freshness and staleness . Because you need a fresh pineapple instead of a rotten one. The stem is the part that provides the sugar for the whole fruit. In addition, pineapple also changes color from here.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9e/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9e/Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Look at the color of the pineapple. Usually the pineapple skin will be golden yellow, but the green skin is not necessarily alive. [3] X Research Sources
- Note that some pineapples ripen when part of the skin is green but not green or brown as a whole. In addition, you should also pay attention to the freshness of the pineapple skin.
- As a general rule, you will see the eyes in the bottom area of the pineapple are yellow. The brighter the color on the stem, the sweeter the pineapple. [4] X Research Sources

Focus on the color of the leaves. Since the color of the pineapple peel can be golden or green, focusing on the color of the leaves is the best option. You should choose fresh pineapple with green leaves.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/30/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px- Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/30/Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
See the shape of the pineapple. Pineapple should be well developed with round body and big eyes. Pineapple eyes are circles with a pointed center in the middle, distributed diagonally throughout the pineapple. Make sure the pineapple eyes are evenly covered around the pineapple and are relatively flat. [5] X Research Sources
- Avoid choosing pineapples with wrinkled, reddish-brown skin, cracks or watery, moldy or brown leaves as these are signs of rotten pineapple.

Choose to buy pineapples grown near where you live. For example, in the US, if you live in California, Hawaiian or Mexican pineapples are the best pineapples because the transport distance from the garden to the supermarket is not too far.
Keep pineapples fresh
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px- Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
It is advisable to eat all pineapples at room temperature within a few days. If you haven’t cut the pineapple, it will stay fresh for days. However, do not leave the cut pineapple at room temperature as it will spoil after a few hours.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px- Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Store pineapples in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer. A pineapple with its skin on will keep for about 2 weeks. Once cut or peeled, the pineapple will only keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
Cut the pineapple and store it in the refrigerator for about 1 week. To cut pineapple properly, you first cut off the stem and bottom. Place the pineapple upright on a cutting board and carefully cut inside the peel from top to bottom. It is advisable to cut deep enough to clean the hard crust. [6] X Research Sources
- Pineapple will still have “eyes” at this point. You can cut off each eye individually, but it’s easier to cut the pineapple diagonally to make a V because the eyes are distributed diagonally. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/23/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/23/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe- Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:306,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :485,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and halve it one more time so you have 4 pineapple triangles.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c5/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-13Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if- a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-13Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c5/Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe- Step-13Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-a-Pineapple-Is-Ripe-Step-13Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:306,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :485,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”} - Cut off the core in the middle of the pineapple, then cut each piece into cubes or slices.

Frozen pineapple that has just been cut will keep for about 6 months. However, it is advisable to cut the pineapple into large chunks to retain the flavor because the freezing process will lose the flavor of the pineapple. Place pineapple in a plastic container or plastic bag to freeze before storing. [8] X Research Sources
- When you want to eat pineapple, simply take it out of the freezer and defrost it in the refrigerator or at room temperature before eating.
Advice
- Buy ripe pineapple and eat it on the same day because the pineapple is still fresh and not afraid of spoiling.
- Always pack peeled pineapples well when refrigerated to avoid other odors.
